My friend Katherine Hester has begun blogging. The most recent entry is a kind of repost, of an essay she had published in Brain, Child magazine some years back. Anyway, she's a great writer, of both fiction and essays. Check it out here.

For the record, people who hurt, torture, and abuse animals, even in the name of science, are evil (there are now many options to animal research and testing which are more economically and scientfically valid) and I don't understand them and really wish they'd leave my planet and my genome. In my utopia, there would be no such persons.

Recently finished Richard Kadrey's Butcher Bird; there's a lot to like in it, and I did. It's wild, and passionate and terrible and the plot fits together like a very neat trick. But I was distracted in places by rough (and not in a good way) writing and continuity errors that, together with some purely typographical errors, made me wish there'd been a better editing job performed on the book.
It also made me gnash my teeth for a full day about being in a state office job with a lot of people in suits rather than, say, a happy alternative-living tattoo artist.

Ah well.
